Default Front end progress - pics

Well, I'm finally getting there. So far I've rebuilt the front suspension, replaced the power steering components, changed the brake lines, cleaned (and cleaned and cleaned) and painted the entire underbody, cleaned and painted the calipers, turned the rotors, installed new brake pads and greased it all up. Now I just have to bleed the brakes and install the steering column and I'll finally be back on the road (until my next project!).

This is the first time in my 43 years that I've ever done any work on a car. I'm feeling pretty good right now. :D

Hey Shark looks good man.. I know exactly what you've been thru to get the job done I just got thru with that part of my rebuild. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that likes the frame gloss.. Good job. Also I contimplated the red calipers but got out voted...by my peers.... Oh well... Keep up the good work..
